Seasonal effects of wind conditions on migration patterns of soaring American white pelican. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Energy and time expenditures are determinants of bird migration strategies. Soaring birds have developed migration strategies to minimize these costs, optimizing the use of all the available resources to facilitate their displacement.

Linking Isotopes and Panmixia: High Within-Colony Variation in Feather δ2H, δ13C, and δ15N across the Range of the American White Pelican. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Complete panmixia across the entire range of a species is a relatively rare phenomenon; however, this pattern may be found in species that have limited philopatry and frequent dispersal. American white pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhyncos) provide a unique

Seasonal Habitat Selection by American White Pelicans
Diversity, 2022 Resource utilization strategies of avian migrants are a major concern for conservation and management. Understanding seasonal habitat selection by migratory birds helps us explain the ongoing continental declines of migratory bird populations.

Influenza A viruses in American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos). [PDF]
J Wildl Dis, 2010 The role of many wild waterbird species in the ecology and epidemiology of avian influenza viruses (AIV) remains unclear. We report the first isolation of AIV from American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos; Pelecaniformes) in North America. Two H13N9 AIVs were isolated from hatchling birds in breeding colonies in Minnesota, USA, during 2007 ...

Influence of climate change on productivity of American white pelicans, Pelecanus erythrorhynchos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the past decade, severe weather and West Nile virus were major causes of chick mortality at American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) colonies in the northern plains of North America.

West Nile virus in American White Pelican chicks: transmission, immunity, and survival. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2013 West Nile virus (WNV) causes significant mortality of American White Pelican chicks at northern plains colonies. We tested oropharyngeal/cloacal swabs from moribund chicks for shed WNV. Such shedding could enable chick-to-chick transmission and help explain why WNV spreads rapidly in colonies. WNV was detected on swabs from 11% of chicks in 2006 and 52%

Diversity, 2022 Migratory soaring birds exhibit spatiotemporal variation in their circannual movements. Nevertheless, it remains uncertain how different winter environments affect the circannual movement patterns of migratory soaring birds.

The Impact of Disease in the American White Pelican in North America
Waterbirds, 2005 Abstract Records of reported die-offs of the American White Pelican (Pelicanus erythrorhynchos) held by the U.S. Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Center from 1978 through 2003 indicate that type C botulism (caused by Clostridium botulinum) was the major cause of mortality.

Recent Population Status of the American White Pelican: A Continental Perspective
Waterbirds, 2005 Abstract Breeding bird surveys were conducted at most American White Pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) colonies in North America from 1979-81 and the number of American White Pelicans was estimated at >109,000 breeding individuals in 55 colonies. Although many pelican colonies have not been surveyed since the early 1980s, we present the most current ...
